Romance rumors between the 32-year-old Outer Banks actor and the 28-year-old Beef actress intensified after they completed production on the feature film earlier in the year. The movie follows two music-obsessed twentysomethings navigating ambition, belonging, and adulthood in the 2000s, as reported by Deadline.
